GUIDELINES FOR THE PUBLICATION OF ARTICLES

1. General Instructions

- The call for papers for publication in the journal is permanently open. Therefore, original articles can be submitted at any time of the year.

- The article should be sent in electronic format as a Word or compatible document to the following address: scriptamediaevalia@ffyl.uncu.edu.ar with copy to ceferino.munoz@ffyl.uncu.edu.ar.

Receipt of all texts will be confirmed by e-mail.

- All articles will be sent for evaluation to two blind peers. The decision will be communicated to the authors within two months of receipt.

- Languages: Articles can be written in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or German.

- The editor does not perform linguistic revisions. Therefore, manuscripts must be written correctly in each language.

- The text should be written in font 12 (Times New Roman), 1.5 line spacing and 2.5 margins. Paragraphs should be indented 0.5 on the first line. Notes should be written in font 10, 1 line spacing, without indentation.

- Each article should begin with the title (in Normal style, bold and centered), with the author's name. E.g.:

Pulchrum: origen y originalidad del ‘quae visa placent’ en Santo Tomás de Aquino

Hugo Costarelli Brandi*

- At the beginning of the article, the author's name with his degree, academic affiliation and e-mail address should be included in a footnote with an asterisk.

E.g.: ^* Hugo Costarelli Brandi is Doctor in Philosophy and Associate Professor of Aesthetics at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. hugocb@ffyl.uncu.edu.ar

- The title should be followed by a summary of the article (index of subtitles and parts), an abstract of between 100 and 200 words and up to 5 keywords. All the elements mentioned, except the summary, must be written in Spanish and English.

- At the end of the article, all works cited in the article should be listed in alphabetical order under the heading Bibliographical References. If there is more than one work by the same author, the author's name should be repeated in all cases.

2. Citation Norms

Scripta Mediaevalia publishes studies on medieval thought, whose disciplinary field belongs to the human sciences (philosophy, literature, history, etc.). In this sense, the reference format adopted for its contributions corresponds to the "footnote and bibliography system" established by the Chicago Manual of Style, with the slight modification that medieval authors, such as Thomas Aquinas, Albertus Magnus, Egidius Romano, etc., are cited in their full name in all footnote references. The document's own formalities are detailed in the provisions stipulated below. The following website can also be consulted: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html

- All direct quotations must be written between quotation marks.

- Longer quotations in the body of the text should be presented in a separate paragraph, in font 10, single spaced, paragraph indentation to the left of 1.5 and without quotation marks.

- Footnotes should be automatically numbered as footnotes.

- Footnote numbers should be placed after the punctuation marks. E.g.: "Deus est quo nihil melius ecogitari possit".¹

- Italics may be used in short Latin or other language expressions, or in book titles. It may also be used to emphasize a word written in the language of the article.

- No other graphic signs other than italics, such as boldface, capitalized words, etc., should be used.

- The use of typical abbreviations in humanistic studies is allowed, preferably in their Latin form: f./ff. (folium, folia), v. (verso), r. (recto), c. (circa), lib. (liber), q. (quaestio), d. (distinctio), a. (articulum), sol. (solutio), vd. (vide), cfr.

- The use of op. cit. or p./pp. is not allowed.

- If a special type of font is used (Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic, or transliterations with special characters), the file of the font used must be sent.

- The text should be sent ready to print. Authors of selected papers will receive the galley proofs in PDF format for review. For technical reasons, substantial or lengthy changes will not be allowed.

3. Footnotes and bibliography system

Footnotes and bibliography system

This system is extremely flexible, since, apart from opening a space in some documents to cite certain types of unusual sources, it allows commenting on the sources cited. Notes are numbered with superscripts in the body of the text and these have their corresponding footnotes (in Microsoft Word there is a tool that allows footnotes to be included as the text is being drafted).^[1]

All titles cited and included in footnotes should appear in the "Bibliography" section at the end of the work. When a reference is footnoted, the complete details are only registered in the first citation. Multiple citations of the same source, after the first one, are arranged in short form. The structure of each reference should conform to the following models:

3.1. Books by a single author

Full citation in a note (N)^[2]

First name Last name, Title: Subtitle (City: Publisher, year), page(s) consulted.

The abbreviations p. or pp. are not used to indicate pages; only the page number or range is included.

¹ Hernando Téllez, Nadar contra la corriente: escritos sobre literatura (Bogotá: Ariel, 1995), 165.

² Universidad de los Andes, Calidad del recurso hídrico de Bogotá (2009-2010) (Bogotá: Universidad de los Andes, 2011), 141.

Abbreviated citation in a note (NA).

The purpose of short citations is to reduce the volume of material documented in a paper. The short form includes enough data so that readers can find the complete information in the section titled "Bibliography."

The most common structure of the short form consists of the author's last name and the main title of the work cited (abbreviated, if it has more than four words).

Last name, abbreviated title, pages consulted.

No more than four words from the title.

The abbreviations p. or pp. are not used to indicate pages; only the page number or range is included.
